Yes, I sat and chatted with him at the last Axiom anniversary bash. He is very direct, strong of convictions and very passionate about US politics. He was picking up his LFR's and EP800's which were the units we used to play with the early Air designs if memory serves.

Trolls do ruin the atmosphere that is for sure.

Until just one spark, just one, rekindles the spirit. And through the loud mediocrity may be noticed by a keen observer.

Hope his room turns out well.

This thread is a textbook example why I left this board. I received a private message at FB about it. My responses are as follows:

1. 2x6 Speeds - thank you for the kind words. I am a member of the Axiom Community on Facebook, and would love to see you there. Craig Stevens is my moniker.

2. My so called "very political" stance. It's pretty simple - at the Axiom party in 2015, one of the Canadians there ripped into me about "50,000 people per year dying in the USA because they don't have health care." I merely pointed out that this person was woefully ignorant about US health care. As for the rest, it's amusing: people on the left side of the spectrum are not "political," they are merely trying to enlighten the rest of us. I merely stated I don't want to get involved in political discussions here, and that gets spun into my being political. It is ridiculous.

3. I posted the items for sale for a specific reason. These reasons were spelled out on Facebook. If anyone is truly interested, you can message me there. It is entirely about the Axiom business model.

I am also now a staff writer for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. A pair of Polk Legend L800's is the first review. Future reviews will be Axiom ADA-1500-1, Harbeth SHL5 XD and Legacy Audio Marquis center channel.

Take care, I hope this clears things up.

Very nice to hear from you Craig. I try to avoid Facebook. Aside from having destroyed Main Street by my reliance on Amazon.com, I'd rather not support the socialist techno masters of the universe.

I subscribe to Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, good reviews! I will look for you there.

Best of luck to you in all your endeavors, Craig! You are a great man. Wish you would come back here. i don't mind a good political conversation.

Sir Q, what "trolls" are you referring to?

And Trevor, I've tried to make sense of your statement: "And through the loud mediocrity may be noticed by a keen observer." Can you help me out with this?

I know you could have contacted Craig directly. The purpose of this thread was to be provocative and stir the pot. I consider that action to be noise. Others who have been here some time would as well.

There are a few here who are really trying to build setups and learn about the methods that truly matter. Audio stuff.

The last interaction of this nature involved Mojo throwing a provocative softball which led to both Craig and Nick leaving the forum. It was too bad, and a gross overreaction. Nick was an exceptional person, and knowledgable member.

Please think about what you are about to do.

Trevor, I really have no idea what you are talking about. I am not aware we have any lepers on this site. I always enjoyed Craig's posts, and his reviews. I am not aware that I am stirring any pot. I expressed my opinion clearly. I miss Craig's contributions and wish he would participate on the Axiom forums. Pretty simple actually.

I had no idea how to contact Craig directly. Trevor, are you saying my post was "noise"?

Sir Quack, who is the troll you are referring to?

Did Craig run your dog over, or sleep with your girlfriend? What's going on here!

I am speaking generally that every forum, social media site, hell even my pellet grill forum has trolls. I am not pointing fingers at anyone. I truly miss when this forum was very active say 5-10 years ago. Many good people I miss conversing with and also wondering how they are doing these days.

Cheers!
